Kiev's Tochka-U Missile Neutralized by Russia's Defenses Over Country's Belgorod Region
05:59 12.12.2023 (Updated: 17:37 12.12.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukraine has repeatedly attempted to launch missiles targeting Russian territories. Two Ukrainian S-200 missiles were destroyed mid-flight over the waters of the Sea of Azov, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on November 26.
Russian air defense systems shot down a Ukrainian Tochka-U missile over the Russian Belgorod Region early on Tuesday, the
Russian Defense Ministry said.
"Today, at about 5:00 am [local time, 02:00 GMT], an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack on targets on the Russian territory using a Tochka-U operational-tactical missile was thwarted. Russian air defense systems on duty shot down the Ukrainian missile over the Belgorod Region," the ministry said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram that an aerial
target had been shot down over the village of Bessonovka in the region, adding that there were no casualties or material damage.
The "Tochka-U" missile can carry a cluster munition with a variety of destructive elements. This makes it particularly dangerous for civilians.
It is not the first instance where Ukrainian forces deployed S-200 missiles
against Russia. In October, the MoD said that Russia’s air defense systems had shot down two Ukrainian rockets fired at the Crimea region.
